InnerHTML changed from English to Hebrew shows question marks

JavaScript

I changed an innerHTML of a Wordpress menu-toggle from English to Hebrew and now it appears as question marks. The reason for doing this with Js is a long story I prefer not to go into. My question is why there are question marks and is there as Js based solution?

That’s the code I used:

let changeLinkText = document.querySelector(".mobile-menu");
changeLinkText.innerHTML = "תפריט";

That’s the outcome as seen in my PC from Chrome):

I should note that the site itself includes Hebrew without any problem: Everything is RTLized and translated almost anywhere without problems.

The problem was with the encoding Notepad++ saved the file. I did the following and it was solved:

Encoding > Encode in UTF-8.

So, if it happens to you, make sure you work with an encoding suitable for any non English content you might have.
